Working Hours:



This is a part-time role averaging around 20-28 hours per week.

4-hour shifts, Monday to Friday, plus alternate Saturdays (full day).

Promote special offers and product ranges to drive sales. Assist with deliveries, unpacking, and organising stock storage areas. Operate the till, process cash and card payments, and complete daily reconciliations. Answer phone calls and email enquiries, and process refunds where necessary. Maintain cleanliness and tidiness throughout the store (including hoovering, sweeping, and dusting). Carry out general office and stationery services such as printing, photocopying, laminating, and comb binding for customers. Remain alert to shoplifting or fraudulent activity and report any concerns to management. Undertake any other reasonable retail duties as required.

About You:



Passionate about delivering excellent customer service. Friendly, enthusiastic, and proactive with a positive attitude. Able to work independently and as part of a small, close-knit team. Confident and approachable, with good communication skills. Keen to learn, adaptable, and willing to take on a variety of tasks. Reliable and flexible towards changing work patterns.
